Deadlock Is Great, But the Poor Performance Is Ruining the Experience

[Nilu]

Deadlock is currently suffering from very poor performance, to the point where it seriously hurts the gameplay experience. The game itself is very good, but playing with constant stuttering really breaks the immersion.

Even when running other demanding titles on the same PC, like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 9, I don’t experience anything close to the kind of stuttering and frame drops that happen here. In Deadlock, FPS drops are constant, stuttering is frequent, and the game feels poorly optimized in many situations regardless of the graphics settings. This doesn’t seem to be a hardware issue, but rather a lack of proper optimization.

Before focusing on new content or other features, they really need to prioritize performance and stability, because in its current state, the game is simply not smooth or enjoyable to play.

Chief,
i think performance like in your video is probably a issue with your pc

I have a mid setup from like 2021 with only ram upgraded (64gb), with like a 3060, i7-12700, and i get consistent 150 (dips a bit in large fights) frames without sacrificing much graphic quality

Try overclocking your GPU. Thank me later!

I'm getting dips into the 80s on a mid-range rig, better than your specs, low settings

Optimization is usually done last in software and game development. So optimization will come when the game is fully art passed and they go all in on Vulkan.

I am playing on gtx 1660, ryzen 5 3600 and 16 gb ddr4 ram on medium settings and I am getting at least 100+ fps so this issue seem to be from your own PC if other game working fine then it's probably a software issue and not a hardware one

If you are on Windows 11 you should know Windows 11 been acting goofy since the last month with random crashes and stuttering probably from all the useless bloatware they keep shoveling in it I even posted about it thinking Deadlock was crashing my PC only to later figure out it was because of the last buggy Windows 11 update
